17. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the button that says: "I'm done formatting my file. Continue to upload"

18. If you need to, click the "My Items" tab, then click on the "Data Feeds" link (or continue to step 19 below)

19. Click the "create" link next to Schedule

20. Choose when and how often you would like Google to upload your file

21. Type the URL of the file - should match the URL provided by eBay - the same one used in step 10 above

22. CLICK THE SCHEDULE BUTTON

23. Come back and check to see if your products have been uploaded as scheduled - login to Google Base, click the "my items" tab, click the "active items" link. You should see all of your store items listed (they will not upload auction or fixed price listings)

Anybody know how it's possible, using the method above, that items can fail based on the error of missing the "description" attribute? Isn't description built into the store listing?

I also got errors based on "recommended" attributes upc, mpn, isbn, condition and brand -- most of which don't apply to most of what I sell so I'm not sure what that means.

Some of my listings failed because "Your data feed contains an invalid character for the current encoding setting or contains a disallowed character." It looks like it might be "×" (alt 0215 in the character map), except that character is in almost every one of my listings and only half failed.

The errors have line numbers next to them -- does this mean it's possible to access the file for reference?

I have an eBay, Yahoo!, or osCommerce store; how do I submit my items to Google Base?

To submit your items to Google Base using the Google Base Store Connector: After you've downloaded and installed the Google Base Store Connector, you'll need to run the program to establish a connection with your online stores.

To create a Google Base store connection, select the store you'd like to import your items from using the I want to get items from pull-down menu.

Enter the email address and password for your account.

Choose a name for your connection. Please note that this name will only be used by you to identify and modify your connection, or to upload additional items. This name won't be published online.

Once you've filled out the necessary information, click Copy items from my store. You'll be taken to a new tab which will be labeled with the name you specified for the connection. You'll also see a link to your store and to your Google Base account. Finally, you'll see the date and time of the last update of your items and a list of the items and their categories in your store. Please note, because your items have not yet been published, "never" will be displayed as the date last published.

On the Active Items tab, click edit. Scroll down to the Desription and Select All the text.Then click Edit HTML, edit as you see fit, and Save, Publish.One good thing is that when the page expires, it will go inactive. Unedited Store Connector listings, as far as I know, just go poof.

Are you saying Store Connector didn't work? Your ebay items, by this time, should be showing published and searchable.

If they are, at this point, you shouldn't be uploading anything, all you should be doing is editing. Your items should be showing up on your Google Dashboard, via:http://www.google.com/base > My Items (top of page)which will have a URL that looks like this:http:// www.google.com/base/dashboard?hl=en&gl=us (broken on purpose because it's a loop)You can only edit one page at a time.

I always get failed listings using Store Connector. One reason is when CS pulls the ebay listings, it grabs everything including auctions.There's big differences between the steps listed in the original post and running SC by itself, standing alone. There are, at least, two distinctly different methods.
